Just started watching your videos and I love them. You're so chill and seem like a truly genuine, nice person. This is the first time I've seen you without sunnies on, you have nice eyes :) This may be too personal to answer but are you single or has some lucky woman out there snagged you? She'd have to be a special type, you obviously really like people, but also seem to find peace and contentment in solitude. I know the feeling well. Thirty odd years ago I would have loved to do what you're doing now, with a like minded man, though I suppose it could still happen one day ha ha! Keep safe and thanks for giving us all an opportunity to live a life like this through your videos
How good are free standing awnings hey. I have a 270 awning on my ute. Mainly because i use the ass end of the car to lay the swag out under awning. And then i have shade for the kitchen in the canopy and cover my swag. We use a small tarp for the shower awning. Great video dale. Hope to see you around the tsv area sometime soon mate.
I’m absolutely loving it man ay. For ages I was thinking going the 270 my self but this one ended up ticking the boxes. But like you said they are perfect for wagons and setting up the way you have. No doubt we will run into each other while I’m back man. Still wanting to camp up for a couple nights just north of Townsville still too.
@Thecampmandownunder yeah man. Each person has their own vision of the perfect setup. 👌🏽. But no doubt we will see you out and about up in townsville mate. Might have a night or 2 with you for a 🍻
Always enjoy the way you do your reviews of the gear you use, comes across more real and genuine. By the time you get all the DIY jobs done, you'll be able to pass yourself off as an enginebeer!😁 I am waiting for an update on how that bike 🚲 is going through? Enjoy the next trip in the swag, keep well and stay safe.😎🍺
Thanks mate. Haha, I’m already signed off as an enginebeer in my own head lol. I actually don’t have the bike anymore, I couldn’t find a good spot for it on the camper and it lived in me bed ha.. but I gave it to someone who would appreciate it, and they was happy as a pig in shit :) and it’s still going hard from the last update. Cheers mate.
@@Thecampman_Camping-Australia cheers for the update. I'm wanting something similar to get around on while camped but have a similar problem of a place to store it while travelling. 👍
Another great post Dale.. that new set up looks great.. can’t wait to see the next DIY and after that take in the next trip.. be safe and enjoy Mums cooking👍👏🍻 cheers mate
Look solid as Brother hey. Looking forward to following along with the swag trips. We are heading back to a few swag trips ourselves. Keep em coming Brother 👌
Cheers bro. It’s a good feeling going back to the swag, makes me feel like I’m doing a quad trip again :) Hope your looking after me new rig over that way lol.
Nice one Dale.I have the shower tent and the 270 on my off-road trailer.Great purchase so far.You will stress them alot more than i will,So you will be a good a good stress tester.Keep up the vids you lucky bugger.
Awesome vid as always Dale, good to c u again Mate, ❤️ur Oz flag I just mentioned it to Daz then u spoke about it, looks like u have lost a bit of weight, I’m sure Mum will fatten u up before u leave, Enjoy Mate, stay safe happy travels 👍🏻🍻🐾
Thanks guys. Probably even cross paths while I’m over this way. Yeah I did drop some, but feeling a little better and more energy now. Haha mum always puts me in the right paddock:)
Cheers mate. Let me know when you are heading thru mate.. I might still be around somewhere, if not I may see you up there too. I bet Bob would love to head back up too.
Yes hes pumped hes trying to go up as soon as he can , no worries plenty of room out there just turn up, its a nice spot bit busy some times but lovely spot, @@Thecampman_Camping-Australia
Yeah looking forward to it too man ay. With the awning you mean? She’s got a pretty solid mounting point so I’ll see how goes. Wind will soon sort her out.
Hey mate, good video. Have you had it in any rain yet and if so how did it go, any pooling? Seem those spreader poles might be an issue. Can you drop one corner down for run-off like you can with one of the older style roll out awning?
Hi mate. Where did you get your hanging water bladder from that you have on the back of the ute? I remember you talking about it on a previous video but i cant find it?
Ay mate, I got it from a mob called Fleximake in Australia. They can apparently make custom bladders to suit as well. So far so good. Has been one of me best mods. 120L this one.
Ay Ray, I’ve really only stuck with the Bfg mud terrains over the last 10 or so years mate. They’ve served me well. But like anything I’m always looking around doing me homework on others on the market.
🇦🇺 bundamba4304Australia 🇦🇺 hay brother Tnb here... beautiful part of the country u r in.. after Tammiis death 4weeks back.. I am packing my massive stack off hunting & prospecting shit.. as in all 8 compo

As an ex Navy Clearance Diver mate your flag is mint..BZ.

Careful with the cantilever. Warranty is one thing…snapping when it’s raining is a sgit storm….
That flag is a bloody beauty mate.
Cheers mate. Something different ay
Nice mate, I also just put another awning on my truck. I also managed to squeeze in 2 lure rods in the awning cover?👍
Good idea with the fishing rods in the bag man. I’d like to do the same but I managed to get the extra poles in so that was a bonus.
Good shit Dale, i aint missing an episode fuckin love it mate
Good on ya man.
Howdy ,thanks for the great videos ,what's an easy 4wd track down to the Finnisse River??
Nice one Dale.I have the shower tent and the 270 on my off-road trailer.Great purchase so far.You will stress them alot more than i will,So you will be a good a good stress tester.Keep up the vids you lucky bugger.
Cool man, how are yours holding up for you? They make life a little easier I’ve found so far. Will see how they go over time ay. Will do mate cheers.
Good,The wife loves it.Alot of room for a mirror and extras lol.The Awning survived a Murry River gust of wind.So far so good.

Good review mate. I like it. I was just about to ask about pooling on the awning...
Cheers mate. Yeah I’ll have to wait and see how that goes.
sorry mate, I was only curious up until you found the last piece of the puzzle. that should do the trick...
Awesome Ep and set up big fellow. I be going past in 6 or 7 weeks, heading up were Old Bob and I camp up near Weipa.
Cheers mate. Let me know when you are heading thru mate.. I might still be around somewhere, if not I may see you up there too. I bet Bob would love to head back up too.
Yes hes pumped hes trying to go up as soon as he can , no worries plenty of room out there just turn up, its a nice spot bit busy some times but lovely spot, @@Thecampman_Camping-Australia
Ripper flag 🇦🇺
Rig Up and solo with the hound. Keep it simple Mate.
Careful with cantilever. Snap page abounds.
Yeah looking forward to it too man ay.
With the awning you mean?
She’s got a pretty solid mounting point so I’ll see how goes. Wind will soon sort her out.
Hey mate, good video. Have you had it in any rain yet and if so how did it go, any pooling? Seem those spreader poles might be an issue. Can you drop one corner down for run-off like you can with one of the older style roll out awning?
How is the awning holding up mate. Still happy with it ?
Would love to meet ya before you head west again
What part of the coast are you in man? And I’ll be around NQ for awhile I’d say.
@@Thecampman_Camping-Australia I'm in Townsville
@@Micko1987 good chance I’ll be heading to Crystal for a camp. So if your around man. Won’t be for a couple weeks or so yet I’d say.
@Thecampmandownunder sounds great man that's normally where I go to get away from the house
Hey, what’s the wind noise like on the road??
Hope you come back to the west coast Pro
Yeah, my times not done over that way.
Hi mate. Where did you get your hanging water bladder from that you have on the back of the ute? I remember you talking about it on a previous video but i cant find it?
Ay mate, I got it from a mob called Fleximake in Australia. They can apparently make custom bladders to suit as well. So far so good. Has been one of me best mods. 120L this one.
Hey mate what been a tyre brand for all seasons cheers
Ay Ray, I’ve really only stuck with the Bfg mud terrains over the last 10 or so years mate. They’ve served me well. But like anything I’m always looking around doing me homework on others on the market.
Where was this filmed dale
Cheers mate. I’m back over on the NQ coast now. About 4000km from the last spot you would have seen me.
